back in motion!

Hi All- It's been awhile since I posted, but portraits are happening in the real world! I've gotten my own archival Giclee printer & am busy getting prints up for purchase at my Etsy store, popkinsportraits.

Here's the first one of my own princess, Perogi!

This open edition archival Giclee Print is printed on 8x10 lasal Photo matte premium archival  fine art paper with a Canon PIXMA Pro9000 Mark II Printer and Canon ChromaLife100 inks which guarantees archival photo life up to 100 years.  Fits perfectly in any standard 8"x10" frame.

Flipping Out!

I had a little vacation recently at The Glickman-Popkin Bassoon Camp at the gorgeous Wildacres Retreat in the mountains of North Carolina. Which gave me time to catch up on portrait orders. I loved painting all day, uninterrupted! After I finished all that I wanted to keep going, so I did some just for fun. My wife is a big fan of Flipping Out! on Bravo,  she loves that Jeff Lewis. I personally have an affinity for Deb- she gets things done! So I painted his cat Monkey. He's got great cranky eyes & looong whiskers. She got so excited, she wrote him and offered to send him the painting. His boyfriend/assistant Gage wrote back that same day & the painting is off to LA!
